Healing Flashcards
Types of healing
Fibrosis
Regeneration
Steps in Fibrosis
Removal of debris
Formation of granulation tissue
Scarring
Stem cells types
Embryonic
Marrow stromal
Induced pluripotent
special microenvironments of Adult stem cells
Niches
Growth Factor effects
Cell proliferation
Differentiation
Cell migration
Angiogenesis and Fibrogenesis
GF sources
Macrophages platelets T cells fibroblasts endothelial cells
GF receptors
Receptors with intrinsic kinase activity
G-protein-coupled receptors
Receptors without intrinsic kinase activity
GFs
Transforming GF alpha & beta (TGF-β & TGF-α) Epidermal GF (EGF) Hepatocyte GF (HGF) Vascular Endothelial GF (VEGF) Platelet Derived GF (PDGF) Cytokines
Main components of ECM
Fibers(collagens & glycoproteins)
Basement membranes & surrounding vessels, (non-fibrillar collagen & laminin)
Adhesive glycoproteins (integrins), proteoglycans & hyaluronic acid)
Granulation tissue
Fibroblast and myofibroblasts
New blood vessels
Inflammation cells
Functions of ECM
Mechanical support (collagen& elastin)
Substrate for cell growth & the formation of tissue micro environments
Regulates cell proliferation & differentiation
stimulate cells via cellular integrin receptors
Fibronectin & laminin
Proteoglycans
bind GFs & display them at high concentration
Sources of new blood vessels
Angioblasts from bone marrow
Pre existing blood vessels
Angiogenesis stimulated by
Vascular endothelial growth factors
